Choose Ducky, Stupid.

I just watched Pretty in Pink for the first time in 24 years. Molly Ringwald's prom dress remains the single, ugliest barf-bomb ever put on an actress in any film. Blaine (Andrew McCarthy) is the biggest puss of all time. Ducky (Jon Cryer) is a great character but he suddenly tells Andy (Ringwald) that Blaine is "not like the others" and is really a good guy. What the hell are you smoking, Ducky? Blaine is an ass from start to finish. Andy is stupid to end up with him. Stupid! Does anybody believe their relationship is going anywhere? I have a tension headache.

I was always a Ducky fan myself. That prom dress was yuk. I am reading her book. She says that she dressed like her characters in real life. Oh boy. I will have to look back though. I think she did say something about hating the dress.

I had a Texas tie just like Ducky's. I had no idea he wore it in the film. My favourite character was the older friend who had her own apartment and dressed in Chinese silk. I haven't seen the movie in a very long time and have no plans to revisit it. I can't believe I liked those brat pack movies the first time around. Some of the music I still count as a guilty pleasure, though I don't think I could ever come to feel about the movies the same way.

About Me

I started this blog in February 2010 as a Lenten exercise in discipline. I posted something daily during Lent, whether I had anything interesting to say or not.
I also pledged to myself that I would dance each day during Lent. I walked away from the blog for much of the five years since. I'm inching back.
I am mistakenly called Stacy on a frequent basis by people I've just met, and sometimes by people I've known for awhile. I am Not Stacy.
